Hi Veeky Forums I need some help. I've somewhat recently went vegan (3months ago) which was the best decision in my life. Lost tons of weight, astma is basically gone and have gotten really nice skin from it however i'm having trouble maintaining my weight.
I'm a DYEL who was obese not too long ago i'm having big trouble eating enough food. Anyhow do any of you know good high protein/KCAL smoothies that dont taste too bad? Thinking about a 1000-1500kcal 50-70g protein smoothie/drink or whatever to call it. Also all weight gain/weight maintenance tips welcome!!
>astma is basically gone and have gotten really nice skin >from it correlation != causation
Cameron Young
>correlation != causation >>>/reddit/iamverysmart Literally any type of nut/nut butter has about 500-650 kcal and 25 g protein per 100 g, so if everything else nutrition wise is met, literally just eat 200 g pb off the jar
Ethan Cooper
Considering switching to healthy vegan diet has proven to be helpful against both acne/bad skin and astma and that both of those problems and it being the only lifestyle change I did I do find it extremely probable that the diet change were the cause. I'm not too big of a fan of peanut butter but I will try. Do you know any tips on what to eat it with? :)
Oliver Robinson
>I'm not too big of a fan of peanut butter but I will try. Then don't eat peanut butter. Eat almonds or walnuts or something. Snack on them as you're doing a menial job or something. You can go through 100g or 200 g like it's nothing. Other protein and calorie heavy foods I can think of are seeds and seitan stir fry. You can also sautee onions ant then toss in tofu to scramble, to add some calories that way. Yeah, oil is kinda empty calories but tofu is loaded with micros so you should be fine. >Do you know any tips on what to eat it with? :) Whatever you eat peanut butter "with" is only going to bring the caloric density down, which seems to be a matter of concern for you. Anyway, try a simple smoothie: 150 g pb, 2 ripe bananas, cocoa to taste, optionally some plant based protein powder like rice or pea, plant milk or water. Depending on the composition, you're looking at anywhere between 40 and 70 g protein and 1200-1400 kcal Hemp, chia and flax seeds are also important for omega 3 and minerals. Google chia pudding almond milk berry recipes. They are the tits.
Daniel Hall
Thanks for the tips, gonna try em out! I also eat 3 tablespoons of flax seeds everyday so I get enough omegas 3 for sure

you could try not being a commie pinko fucking retard and eat like a normal person.
Kayden Nguyen
What is your diet looking like already?
Matthew Watson
hey, vegan here too. if u want to maintain weight find out ur tdee and eat at that level, u can use a calculator. rice oats bread and pasta are staple carbs and very calorie dense, really easy to get calories in with them. if u also need to get some extra calories in u can add olive oil to all your dishes u make. for protein u want legumes such as beans, chickpeas, lentils. and if vegetables and fruit are filling you up too quickly try getting them in a liquid form by getting fruit/vegetable juice or making your own. good luk brah
Nolan Williams
oh yeh i forgot, soy milk is ur freind u want to be drinking 1 to 2 litres a day which is 600-1200 calories. its very healthy for you and gopod macronutrient profile. plus u wont get gyno from it like u would with normal milk because its phytoestrogen not real estrogen which doesnt affect human estrogen levels
Angel James
Jesus fucking christ i'm a rightwing anti feminist who quite often brings up how much of a cancer islam is towards muslims (swede so its really taboo) and i'm also vegan. VEGANISM has nothing to do with the left. Sure retarded feminists tend to be vegan but that does not mean veganism tends to the left. My diet is basically this Breakfast(every day) 105g oatmeal 1 large apple 1 large banana and 3 tablespoons of flaxseeds Lunch/dinner/snacks are bascially just me eating alot of fruits and maybe cooking some pasta/rice and eat it. I'm very lazy so I never cook "real food". I wish but I live in Sweden so 1liter soy milk is between 3-5$ per LITER. and that's a lot for a poor boy like myself
Hudson Allen
Eat legumes and vegetables retard
Easton Bailey
>1200-1400 kcal user, are you sure your body can process that in one sitting? what if any extras turn into fat?
Aaron Fisher
>VEGANISM has nothing to do with the left. Oh but of course it does, user. Didn't you know famous left-wing icon Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian?
Thomas Bailey
>vegetarian not vegan, idiot.
>hitler socialist, idiot.
Veganism is an extension of marxism. Humans are the oppressors, animals the oppressed. Same bullshit. Useful retards don't realize it's just more critical theory in action. Vegans are almost ALL anarchists and communists. OP just got memed by their retarded propaganda and thinks he's reaping some magical benefits by not eating animals. Only a matter of time before he drinks all of their koolaid.

Diet doesn't have to be political. I know one vegan who stopped eating meat because they said they started having stomach issues and never was a big fan of meat anyway. The other one doesn't think killing animals is awful but in their own words, "why kill animals when I don't have to?".
Seem like more logical people than someone who thinks diet choice is some jewish conspiracy.

he hasn't even taken the long term fasting pill yet lads lol. you think humans were made to eat every day?

Samuel Phillips
fuck you m8 i've lost 15kg in three months and haven't had to go anywhere near something as disgusting sounding as 'tofu scramble' kek i can't even imagine how fucking awful that must be
Kayden Thomas
lmao thinking tofu and oats are disgusting. Enjoy your early death from not eating enough fiber you fat fuck
Jacob Garcia
>I haven't tried it, so it must be awful! Honest question, are you 12? I won't report you, I promise.
Bentley Cruz
get yourself soy flakes. They taste good and have about 40g of protein for every 100g.
Dylan Bennett
Add peanut butter to your smoothies, or PBfit, which is peanut butter powder with less fat but higher in protein. Consider spirulina. Vegan protein powder. Kale, etc.
Make it into a smoothie bowl and sprinkle fruit and nuts on it?
Mason Long
>vitamin B12, iodine and vitamin A. I'm a vegetarian and I hate being associated with people like you. Just as dogmatic and obtuse as most meat eaters, you give a bad name to our cause. Vegan diet deficiencies exist and should be tackled by supplementing.
Cooper White
if you are not able to get enough iodine and vitamin a, thats not the problem of a vegan diet but pretty much you being stupid.
Joseph Howard
B12 is the only deficiency aslong as you eat your carrots and nuts etc. Even then, fortified plant based milks will fix the B12 issue if not supplements.
baka don't chat shit
Noah Brooks
I recommend a shit load of carbs like bread, potatoes, pasta, weetabix, peanut butter etc.
Load up on bananas, avocados in smoothies and add hemp seeds for bare amounts of protein lad
Jackson Williams
>>vitamin B12 Nutritional yeast, marmite, fortified plant milks, if all this fails, supplement >>iodine Potatoes. >> vitamin A A single carrot has like 40 times the necessary DV in the form of beta carotene, and the body regulates the conversion rate. Sweet potatoes have a fuckton of beta carotene too. >But I read that the conversion rate is very low! Yes and no. The conversion rate is low on meat eaters, because they already meet their needs from getting actual vitamin A, so they don't need to convert any more from beta carotene. Vegans don't get actual vitamin A, so the body ups the conversion rate to meet your needs. >I'm a vegetarian and I hate being associated with people like you. I'm a vegan and I hate being lumped together with vegetarians too, that doesn't make your actual argument invalid. Your argument is invalid because you are misinformed, not because you eat cheese and eggs. >Just as dogmatic and obtuse as most meat eaters, you give a bad name to our cause. >Being this narcissistic Also, dogmatic comes from dogma, which means word/speech. The use of the word implies that you believe something because you were told so. As you have seen, I don't "believe" in veganism, I know it's right and I have the science to back me up >Vegan diet deficiencies exist and should be tackled by supplementing. Yes, but that doesn't invalidate what I said here . As long as the B12 supplement is vegan, you can be 100% healthy and vegan
Henry Gray
yes i've tried tofu. it's okay fermented that's about it. the truth is vegetarianism/veganism is literally babby's first non-sad diet. anyone even remotely interested in eating healthy has tried it at least once. it'll only make you feel good if the dietary base you're coming off is the typical sad. you'll probably feel okay for the first few years too, but eventually you'll run out of energy, be constantly depressed, whiny and weak and end up waking up from nightmares where you were devouring baby back ribs by the bucket load. i have no problem with short veg/vegan 'cleanses' but to make it your entire diet has less to do with healthy eating and everything to do with maintaining your emotional investment in an ideology.
Angel Thompson
The fuck is this retarded argument? How the fuck is eating better, more nutrients more carbs, and generally more whole foods gonna make you weak and depressed? Going vegan have even shown to help against depression since one cause of depression is constant inflammations in your brain which gets inflamed form eating shitty foods(like meat)
Being vegan is the most logical diet choice you can make in EVERY way. The only reason I can possibly imagine it being inferior is "taste" but if you wanna cause suffering and harm on both yourself and animals to get a bit more tasty food then you're just a retarded fat fuck.
Bentley Martin
um, no sweetie. high carb diets are actually the cause of inflammation.
broccoli banana(or bananas) strawberries peanut butter(if you want a lot of calories and more protein)
Jace Cooper
The term vegan didn't exist back then, vegetarians were people who didn't eat animals, and some were as extreme as to not eat anything made from animals.
Adolf was probably vegetarian, but there's a chance he was an actual vegan by today's terms.
Dominic Wood
>ionide >WHAT IS SALT >vitamin A >WHAT ARE FUCKING CARROTS >vitamin B12 >WHAT ARE B12 REINFORCED FOODS LIKE NON DAIRY MILK AND PRETTY MUCH ANY TYPE OF CEREAL WHICH ARE ALSO REINFORCED WITH IRON VITAMIN D AND VITAMIN C AND VITAMIN K ETC
Connor Hughes
>First link Mice, disregarded >Second link 1) it doesn't say that meat is not inflammatory, so you haven't disproved 2) it says high GI carbs are bad and low GI carbs are good. No shit nigger, that's why we're telling OP to eat potatoes, beans and oats and not bleached flour and sugar
Joshua Thompson
have you actually read the studies you have posted? lmao
Ryan Flores
>Being vegan is the most logical diet choice you can make in EVERY way.
Although I do agree that a vegan diet is preferable in every way to a regular diet, I do have to say that it's kinda difficult at first to get used to eating vegan. Not to mention how there's a bigger learning curve in making tasty food if you go vegan at first. Meatcucks can basically just put some spice and salt on a steak and have a delicious meal, vegans have to be a bit more creative.
That's about the only downside to it desu.
Nathan Roberts
exactly, the only downside taste. However after 2-3 months of eating pretty meh food normal food got delicious. Like the amount of flavor in like just noodles and soy sauce for me is just unbelievable.
Ian Parker
m just trying to get into exercising in general, cardio and lifting my bmi is nearly underweight and i have no muscle and basically the body of a kid with slight pudge from being inactive my metabolism has kept me at a consistent weight my whole life though
how should i handle my nutrition? should i be eating at a deficit or aiming for a surplus? im in the middle of just trying to correct my eating habits in general, daily nutrients etc. so im very much a beginner.
should i just stick to 20 mins of walking/jogging with some light exercise like pushups before i start intentionally trying to cut or bulk? i don't move regularly at all and want to fix it.
Leo Davis
>m just trying to get into exercising in general, cardio and lifting Ok >my bmi is nearly underweight and i have no muscle and basically the body of a kid with slight pudge from being inactive Ok >my metabolism has kept me at a consistent weight my whole life though Your metabolism varies very little. Your weight stayed constant because your daily calorie intake was approximately constant >No, you don't understand, one day I might eat nothing but a piece of fruit and the next day I may eat a whole pizza and chocolate even! I do understand, I said "average" >how should i handle my nutrition? should i be eating at a deficit or aiming for a surplus? You are underweight. Do you think you should eat less? >im in the middle of just trying to correct my eating habits in general, daily nutrients etc. Cronometer >so im very much a beginner. Read the sticky >should i just stick to 20 mins of walking/jogging with some light exercise like pushups before i start intentionally trying to cut or bulk? You are not in rehab from a car accident, you can squat, bench and deadlift just fine. Read starting strength. >i don't move regularly at all and want to fix it. Read starting strength, and do pic related
Carson Watson
>You are underweight. Do you think you should eat less? kind of because i have bloated features i assume are bad fat deposits i need to burn or somehow replace? >>No, you don't understand, one day I might eat nothing but a piece of fruit and the next day I may eat a whole pizza and chocolate even! no, my whole life ive eaten garbage, barely drank any water and barely any vegs. didnt grow up very good. appetite varies a lot too and i generally eat erratially, i've never measured how much i eat and i know some days ill scarf tons of shit and for the next 2-3 weeks ill eat probably under 1000 cals a day >You are not in rehab from a car accident, you can squat, bench and deadlift just fine. Read starting strength. my knees are actually damaged, enough that i cant jump without sharp pain or sprint for long.
Brayden Miller
If you're fucking underweight means you are unbeliveably weak. You getting more skinny will just make you look like a disgusting skeleton. Go to the gym do Starting Strength if you can't squat do other leg excerices to compensate. And you should EAT as much as possible seriously. Atleast untill your BMI is in "normal" range just eat everything. Eating is important af
Nicholas Gonzalez
>kind of because i have bloated features i assume are bad fat deposits i need to burn or somehow replace? Nigger just lift weights, your shit body will auto fix itself >>>No, you don't understand, one day I might eat nothing but a piece of fruit and the next day I may eat a whole pizza and chocolate even! >no, my whole life ive eaten garbage, barely drank any water and barely any vegs. >didnt grow up very good. >appetite varies a lot too and i generally eat erratially, i've never measured how much i eat and i know some days ill scarf tons of shit and for the next 2-3 weeks ill eat probably under 1000 cals a day That is literally what I wrote, you just rephrased it >my knees are actually damaged, enough that i cant jump without sharp pain or sprint for long. Okay, then skip squats for a little while. You can still deadlift, bench, row etc
Leo Campbell
a man requires 2500-3000cal/day if you're a vegan your body knows how to convert all these cals to turn you into your most ideal body you said you're a dyel, then i'm assuming you're not lifting, so ideal body for you will be a dyelmode which is totally normal unlike being obese which is deadly now if you're lifting, your body again will turn into the most ideal mode FOR YOUR LIFTING ACTIVITY, which is muscular just eat *healthy* vegan food until you feel full every day, no need to count calories like retard, if you lift you'll need more energy, you'll feel hungry, then you eat until full, your body will take care of the rest
Robert Hughes
Yes! Problem is tho that i'm so lazy that I don't eat enough food which is why i'm looking for a "quick and easy" way to eat a shitton in a short amount of time. But anyhow thanks for the info
